Metrics are OpenAlex author metrics across all fields; the census counts only the CDR-relevant papers since 2021 listed below. Corrections and removal: info@carbon-drawdown.de, done within five working days (privacy notice).
Papers counted in the census#
12 CDR-relevant papers and preprints since 2021 count for the top lists, by pathway: DAC 6, Cross-cutting CDR 5, Ocean CDR 1. A paper tagged with two pathways counts in both lists. Preprint and journal version are merged where OpenAlex links them; where it does not, both appear. Under each title: the venue, the co-authors (linked when they have a profile page) and the strongest OpenAlex keywords; the pathway column is my own tag.
